Mamma Mia!, the most exciting production in PV History, is inspired and enhanced by a passel of well-known ABBA tunes! It is a “feel-good” kind of show that will make you want to sing along to the familiar songs.
Sophie, the 20-year old bride, is planning to get married in a little hotel on a Greek island where she has worked with her single mother, Donna, her whole life. Unbeknownst to Donna, Sophie has longed to find the father she has never known. After accidentally finding and reading her mother’s diary, she finds clues that point to three lovers from her mom’s “free-spirited” past that “might” be her father. Sophie secretly invites all three of these men to her wedding, and hilarity ensues! This delightful story features lots of nostalgic singing and dancing, as well as a HUGE cast, with a creative and colorful set design, beautiful, custom-created costumes, and brilliant choreography.

The Greatest Show on Earth, now featured in Act2PV’s OUTDOOR Starlight Cabaret, has rolled out a whole new style of entertainment, and it’s definitely a HIT (as evidenced by its FULL AUDIENCES every week)! Inspired by the Don Comalon restaurant in Colima, on Wednesday nights, people can see a FREE SHOW which features performances by many of its amazing entertainers. Sometimes they sing songs from their shows, but very often, they “go rogue” with new show ideas, and they can also sing songs that they love!
FREE FOOD is served, starting with fresh hot chips and bean dip when you walk in the door. Each time a drink is ordered, more food is brought out, such as tacos con carne molida, deep-fried potato tacos, chicken flautas and guacamole tostadas! The more you drink, the more you eat! Everyone loves this new concept, the show is entertaining, and the food is outstanding! The new show time is Wednesday at 8:00 pm.
